Comments. Martínez y Sáez (1886) and Pérez del Val (2001) recorded H. lineatus based on a misidentification of the specimens MNCN 20286 – 20289 and MNCN 20290 – 20293, which are herein reidentified as H. smaragdina. As a result, the first record of H. lineatus for Río Muni corresponds to Lasso et al. (2002). Mertens (1964) reported a case of predation over a juvenile of Amnirana albolabris (Hallowell, 1856) (Anura: Ranidae) from Ureca, Bioko. Specimens examined. Ten specimens. Equatorial Guinea (without specific locality) (EBD 25130). Río Muni: without specific locality (MNCN 23815); Miboman (from Bata to Niefang), March 1987 (EBD 25015), 28 July 1987 (EBD 27511); Miboman (road to Bata, Km 29), 15 November 1987 (EBD 20831, EBD 20833); Miboman (road from Movo to Niefang), August 1987 (EBD 27539); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom, 1990 (B 9579; without EBD number); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom (road to Ayamiken), 25 June 1987 (EBD 27545); San Joaquín de Ndyiacom (road from Bata to Niefang), 27 July 1987 (EBD 27547).
